Courgettes are or were in season- so we bought a lot of them- and (because we really hate to waste food) we've been searching for recipes to use them in. This is the best so far- cheap, easy, fast and delicious.
I buy canned chickpeas and mash them with garlic and lemon juice, serve with wedges of pita bread, a small piece of red onion, and a bit ofchopped tomato for garnish. Not really difficult. It would be if I had to start with dried chickpeas, and cook them before actually making the hummus.
If you have a food processor, it's quite easy. The only real problem, as I see it, is that tahini can be rather expensive--although it may be cheaper to buy online in the UK than it is here, given your closer proximity to the middle east (and better monetary exchange).
Melt a little butter in a pan and slice up an onion or two. Saute the onion until soft, then toss in some sliced up courgettes, throw in a tin of tomatoes and sprinkle with some dill. Heat until the courgettes have softened up a bit. That's MY favourite way of cooking them.

We should really make our own hummus/houmous, but it's complicated- so we buy it readymade.
